General Mach Discussion / Re: Ignore tool change setting

« on: August 03, 2015, 04:20:13 PM »

Hi guys I have the same problem, I have tried oporator, then set normal condition, save and exit. Re open setting gone back to ignore tool change, even with no gcode ready. Still same.  I want to set up with manual tool change position and touch plate set up, but want to sort out this issue first. Any ideas ?

General Mach Discussion / Proximity sensor help required

« on: August 19, 2013, 07:49:29 AM »

Can anyone help I have a new PLCM 3 break out board.
I am trying to set up proximity sensors for all axis including homing, the sensor is 6 to 26 volt 300 mA 3 wire NO type.
I am powering using 12 v as this is what was shown in the break out board manual.

When I put volt meter on the terminals on the BOB I only get 1.6 volts when metal is applied I get 0 volt
The led on the mother board works ie goes off when metal sensed.
Mach3 does nothing no screen leds and does not stop motor when metal applied.
Ports and pins are set correctly I am sure.

Can anyone advised me, am i using the wrong size resistance sensor?
